The graphic design scene in the UK is closely related to music, and many of the outstanding graphic designs have been born as visuals that embrace music. But with the decline of the record and CD culture, what is the graphic design scene in the UK?　I started this project with such a question. We picked up 22 designers from two perspectives: the magnitude of the impact on the design world and the sense of expectation in the future. Past works and latest works, interviews that can only be seen at the venue, etc. will be exhibited as installations on the theme of "sound". Take a look back on the UK graphic design scene from 1980 to the present for about 30 years, and experience the new movement that is emerging now.
